The Aspiring

Hey hey! Starting this blog, and I am just actually copying this idea from Estephanie Frank, a friend of mine. I just thought-- hey Nika, stupid wanting to be a screenwriter/director someday wherein I don't freaking watch A LOT as in A LOT of movies like the aspiring people like me. So what the heck! I'll start this blog and see if I'll be better next year! Disclaimer: Don't believe on my ratings, it's not professional rating. It is solely based on my emotions and feeling at the time I watched the movie. So, don't watch high rated movies I rated. Smile :)) AND BTW, I realize, I am stupid, and weird. I have this very odd preference and taste for movies. People might not like my opinion about the movies, so if you are reading this DO NOT TAKE THE BLOG POSTS AND THE RATE SERIOUSLY. This blog is made specifically for my own growth. Love love. Pardon with wrong grammar and SYNTAX ERRORS

65. I am Number Four (3.25/5)



Hmmm... I don't know what's up with me these days, I prefer funny and light movies...

I am number Four is a movie about a guy from another planet. He is one of the remaining of their kind and some other beings are hunting them. Guys like the main character has super powers. I feel the movie too physical, no emotional story. I don't know if I am affected with my drama writing workshop, but yeah, the story felt a little shallow.

I think the star of the movie Alex Pettyfer is a great actor, but boring stiff main characters are not just for me.

Dianna Agron (Quinn from Glee) was the main character of the show and I love her character being a photgrapher and all. I love Quinn. Hehe.

Very short character arc, I actually had forgotten a lot of parts. Blame my stupid memory. But as I write, I remember the dog... MORPHING! COOL SHAPESHIFTER!

I'll try to watch this again soon.

I give this movie 3.25/5

64. Diary of a Wimpy Kid (4/5)



After few weeks that I had watched this movie, I am rating. You can throw tomatoes at me now if I rated it 4/5, but then again... I was highly entertained. No-brainer, just a good laugh. I enjoyed it.

I love the vomit prank. So funny, I love it!

And the door knob! Hilarious!

Oh well, I can say that there is really a kid trapped inside me. I am still a kid inside! Haha. Well, I think every is.


I give this movie a 4/5


63. Sorcerer's Apprentice (4/5)



I am again rating after weeks of watching this said film.

Well, I got some few money writing essays so I bought some DVDs. This one I know is intended for kids, and if you are planning of watching something light and no-brainer, you would definitely enjoy.

I like the color, visually appealing. Plot is far too common, remember Nek, the Heroe's journey? but I enjoyed it. it is like watching a simple cartoon.

I also love the OST: Secrets by ONE MAN REPUBLIC YEAH! Although I think it was used inappropriately in the scene. Love of the two characters are far too shallow. But then again, I was entertained. Isn't that supposed to be the essence of movies?

I give this 4/5 because it is simple and I was entertained.




62. In the Name of Love (3.95/5)



Hmmm... I might have scored this a 5/5 if I blogged right after watching the movie. It seems like the feelings melted away as time goes by. I probably watched this on DVD 1 week ago.

I met the person who had written this story/concept. Enrico Santos just cascaded the "Heroes Journey" seminar to us last Monday. I believe that Star Cinema Peeps are very talented and great. To people who ridicule Star Cinema, you just don't know how talented the people there are... I believe that they can make a Hollywood level type of story, it is just that--- we need to face the fact that budget is a very crucial thing in making those visually appealing movies--- the movie industry is business, so they need to make sure that majority of the Filipino people would watch. If you aren't satisfied, try and try to pitch ideas.... if you are impatient... create your own network. :)

Going back to the story: I am starting to like Angel Locsin. I don't really like love her before, but now.. I am learning to appreciate her. Her pole dance was great at the movie, there are times I feel she moves like a guy when she dance seductively.

The character of Angel on the story is very light. She is very childish in the first parts of the movie. I also want to react about Aga always partnered with young hot girls. What's up Aga? Isn't that unfair for other actors?

The other male character, Jake Cuenca-- is best! I remember I really really love him during his younger years. Now, he is older... he is still handsome, but not as before! Going back to the story, I really feel for Jake on the story. She loves Angel so much, but it is just sad that Angel just USED him.

The best scenes for me was the dialogue revelation of Aga and Angel. It was really heartfelt. I realized that Star Cinema love making dialogues or monologues. They see to it that those are dramatic. But people might just recognize it too so I hope Star Cinema could come up of something different.

Lastly, In the Name of Love has a feel of the movie Love Story and I love you Goodbye. Why do they love making movie posters with red as background on it? It looks one and the same already, change the poster background please!

To conclude: This movie showed to us how a person could love after all the years, the anger, the questions. Love could withstand anything.... even time and hate.

I give this move 3.95/5
